Unleashing the Magic of Genres in Literature

Introduction

Welcome, literary adventurers! 🚀 Today, we're not just opening a textbook; we're embarking on an exciting journey through the vast landscape of literature. Just like a treasure map filled with different paths and hidden gems, genres in literature guide us to various experiences and stories. Are you ready to explore?

Hook: The Genre Mystery Box

Setup the Scene

Before we dive into today’s lesson, let’s begin with a little mystery! I would like each of you to close your eyes for a moment. Imagine you’ve just stumbled upon a mysterious box in the library.
